There Is a Bolero Version of “Te Boté” and It Is a Work of Art

Trap en español lyrics might not be considered poetry for some, but Puerto Rican bolero group Los Rivera Destino really don’t care. The group just turned Casper and Nio Garcia’s summer smash “Te Boté” into the serenata we needed to dump old boos. In the video, directed by young Puerto Rican filmmaker Yeya Monroig, the group harmonizes to the lyrics of “Te Boté” with a corta venas melody that only boleros can really capture.

The remix is part of Los Rivera Destino’s ongoing series Trapústico: Una serenata real hasta la muerte, which includes remakes of other trap and reggaeton hits like “Solita” by Ozuna and “Viajo Sin Ver” by Jon Z. Filmed at a local bar in Bayamón, Puerto Rico, the video shows a group of men hilariously jilted over the sounds of a Puerto Rican cuatro and the original Bad Bunny lyrics. Just imagine your abuelo singing a bolero with the phrase “un perreo sucio en la placita.”

The group’s hysterical remix of “Te Boté” is their most popular so far, with nearly 100,000 views since it was released on Wednesday morning. “We just thought this song could translate very well to a bolero,” the group told Remezcla via Facebook.
